Piaget 12775D2 - 18K Yellow Gold Onyx & Pave Diamond Dial Automatic

Details
The Essence Of 1970s Piaget
During the 1970s, Piaget established itself as a master of both ultra-thin watchmaking and expressive, jewelry-forward design. The reference 12775D2 is a perfect representation of this era, rendered entirely in 18k yellow gold from its case to its integrated bracelet. It combines this solid gold form with a high-contrast dial of deep black onyx and pave diamonds. This was a period when Piaget leaned into bold aesthetics, treating the watch as a single, flowing piece of jewelry.
A Dial Of Stone And Light
The dial is the centerpiece, showcasing Piaget’s skill with exotic materials. A frame of natural onyx provides a stark, clean border for the brilliant inner square of pave-set diamonds. This combination of textures, from the glossy black of the stone to the fire of the diamonds, was a signature of the brand's most ambitious pieces. Powering the watch is an ultra-thin automatic caliber, a technical achievement that allowed Piaget's designers the freedom to create such elegant and slim profiles.
A Well-Preserved Example
The condition is consistent with a piece from its era. The 18k yellow gold case appears to be unpolished, retaining the integrity of its original design and finish. The dial's onyx and diamond setting remains clean and is the focus of the watch. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Statement Of Quiet Confidence
This Piaget is for someone who appreciates the intersection of horology and high design. It is less a tool for telling time and more a piece of wearable art that defined a generation of luxury. The automatic movement provides modern convenience, while the materials and construction are a throwback to a time of unapologetic creativity. It wears with a substantial feel, thanks to its solid gold construction, yet maintains an air of refined elegance on the wrist.
